Why Black Kids Get Trapped in Failing Schools

The educational achievement of white youngsters is nothing to write home about, but that achieved by blacks is nothing less than disgraceful.

Let’s look at a recent example of an educational outcome all too common.

In 2016, in 13 of Baltimore’s 39 high schools, not a single student scored proficient on the state’s mathematics exam. In six other high schools, only 1 percent tested proficient in math.

In raw numbers, 3,804 Baltimore students took the state’s math test, and 14 tested proficient. Citywide, only 15 percent of Baltimore students passed the state’s English test.

Black or White. Public Schools are a sham. IF you can avoid them? Send your children to Private School, Catholic School etc... Ray...

Parents are part of the answers but they're often of the same upbringing that's the major problem.

No one is TRAPPED! Get off your lazy worthless complaining backside and apply yourself! You claim its the parents or the schools - if you want to make a change start with yourself!!!!! Stop making excuses for everything - take responsibility for yourself!!!!!!

Because they are on welfare for EVER. They don't know how to digest ANY information. Then they are taught by the same people. Call themselves teachers but only have a 6 month certificate. They don't teach. They Babysit. Then they can grow up and hate WHITES.
